My first game was moon. I’ve never played any Pokemon games that came out before because my 3ds broke, but I really want to try some of the older games :)
@@Gentledude. Pokemon is a wholesome era. I still thank and curse the boy for getting me into it just before Red and Blue came to the US lol. Nintendo owns my soul thanks to him
Same here, X and Y was the first game I started keeping up with all of the news for like the trailers and stuff, I have way too many hours in my copy of X. It was also the first game I tried shiny hunting in, although I didn't get anything for a while, my first shiny was a random Quagsire in SoulSilver and my first hunted for shiny was a Eevee turned Sylveon in Alpha Sapphire, but I got a Carvanha from chain fishing and a Charmeleon from a friend safari. I also got some of the event Pokémon in there, I will never forgive myself for missing Diancie despite having the code, I couldn't get to a place with wifi in time (I didn't have any yet so I always went to the library) so the code expired, I did get Hoopa and Volcanion though
@@Butterfly_77_Butterfly If you get a chance, I absolutely recommend Platinum and the Unova games. (Specifically White 1 and 2. Better box legends and the only good Opelucid City lol)
My brother dropped off playing Pokemon at this generation, he caught Yveltal, named it "MLG", dropped the game and barely played Pokemon Moon because our mom didn't know he dropped Pokemon then. I transferred all his mons to Pokemon Bank and I still have them, the next best mon besides Yveltal was a shiny Vivillon named "Sparkle". X/Y are special to me as the last Pokemon game we played together. He still likes Pokemon and we talk about it, he just doesn't play the games anymore.
XY is a special game for me; for it introduced my favorite Pokémon, Malamar, and introduced my least favorite evil team, but third favorite bad team leader… it’s a weird moment. It’s been a good game, but I will say, overall, 7/10- not enough water. Love you Gentledude! Stay you and stay true! Glad to see more kinds of content here, a warm welcome to be sure.
"Making sure not to overlevel *too much*" he's at pretty similar levels to what a casual player would be if they were catching even just a decent amount of pokemon for the dex, or if they made sure to battle every trainer along the way. Purposefully being under or at the level of the gym leaders is usually a nuzlocke rule, and this run definitely is not one. He's just trying to experience the game like a completionist might have back when the game came out
@@chrisbook7938 But most people wouldn’t do that. Most people aren’t “completionists”, they just want to beat the game. I’m playing through XY for the fourth time now, and I love that these are maybe the only Pokémon games that don’t require grinding against wild Pokémon.
@@autumnphillips151 He's doing a 100% run. So he's playing how a completionist would. If you don't want to overlevel whilst 100% the game you'll have to swap between 2-3 teams..just saying.
The sheer amount of side content in XY was nuts even things you'd wouldn't expect... like learning all roller skate tricks, Completing every Restaurant challenge, buying every piece of clothing, Growing every berry to get a Kee Berry, getting Duke/Dutchess ranking in Battle Chateau, Defeating the Battle ladies in post game, and much more 😂
X and y are my FAVORITE Pokémon games. They have the best Pokémon on average,megas,cozy vibe,best fossils,Noivern,cool gym designs and based on croissant land!!! Who could ask for more?
x and y are criminally underrated and i'm so glad to see you enjoy it to its fullest, especially the postgame story! i'm excited to see what legends za does with kalos, and a thorough playthrough like this is a great way to prepare for it! kudos for sticking it through to the end!
Yeah, same with oras. Gen 4 (carried asf by platinum and hgss), 5 and 6 were the best in the series. 7 was still pretty great (good dex, nice new additions to the franchise and good side characters like Lillie, Kukui and Gladion.) Then it just went down hill
I try to remember they are comparable to diamond and pearl and pokemon z was gonna be a thing until it was cut. So like its a great first two games and idk if this is a hot take but man i think xy > dp but platnium beats all
@@kintsuki99 I'm talking about the storyline in X and Y. Even though performance make the games almost unplayable at times, Scarlet and Violet had good storylines and answered questions. Even though a lot of the answers were hidden behind a pay wall. And still forcing online play to evolve certain Pokemon and shiny locking Pokemon ticks me off.
Hey GD i was there for your whole donothon and just wanted to say i absolutely loved every minute. Awesome to see another upload. Hope the windows ok. Iykyk
@Gentledude. sorry to hear it was that bad. All we could see on stream was a noise, then some glass fly across the camera and then you and Gabe look absolutely lost😂😂 hope it's all sorted tho
I replayed this for the first time since it came out last year and honestly I had a lot of fun. I was actually shocked that Shauna was the only useful rival/companion. If you think gym 1-2 is long like this, you should see it in the professor oak challenges. Plus mega flower frog, any game is better with a venusaur in it. Also the Valerie battle was like me against Opal, she did say to bring pink, gmax venusaur was the best I had
No way, a new Gentledude video!!! Happy to see you back on yt! Hope you've been doing well since that crazy dono ending! You've been very missed! Awesome video, as always!! (Mox)
@@Gentledude. Fantastic video! And I agree women are scary! Much happiness and good vibes your way my dude!! This video was much needed for everyone I think!
gd i kid you not, i was suffering from severe depression and went into rehab, and at night i would watch your videos and it was one of the only moments in which i would smile, tbh i just wanted to say thank you for everything you do, and i seriously appreciate u ❤
I love these styled vids because it's basically just a lets play but sped up and theres a few jokes and funny moments mixed in really vid fun to watch!
Pokémon X and Y was the first Pokémon game where I understood everything that was going on from natures to EVs and IVs, this is one of my favorite and most nostalgic gens because of it. First time I’ve ever seen your channel but enjoyed it greatly hope to watch more
Brother, I love all of your videos. I rewatch them like it’s an addiction. Keep them coming man. This one was excellent, superb, amazing, insane…..synonyms!
Can I just say. I love the editing skills. It has gotten a lot better and more advanced sense you started. You were always good at this though. Also love the way you incorporated the face cam.
Something I loved in pokemon black and white was that you got a lot of interaction with the gym leaders throughout the story, and that interaction is missing in X and Y
I was a teen when these came out, and I to this day they're one of my favorite games in the series. Friend Zones, megas, and just the overall atmosphere of the first 3d mainline game. It just hit different. I know the opinions on this gen and games are mixed, but it will forever be in my top 5 mainline games.
Welcome back Great video Looking forward to your return nuzlocke as well Should do PLA next if have the chance for a full PLZA prelude And maybe ORAS too
0:00 Starting a video with that line HURTS. I remember going and buying a 2DS with Pokemon X on release with one of the guidebooks, and to this day, is one of the few Pokemon games that I haven't gone back to play to completion. I guess I just remember all of the bad and almost none of the good - I much prefer Gen V and IV to any of the Gen VI-VIII games, but that's probably due to nostalgia and having less to do when I was younger vs when I got into Gen VI and VII; I didn't even get into Gen VIII until Mid 2020, and by then I was so caught up in working that I rarely played it, and it took me more than a year to complete. It amazes me sometimes how fresh and challenging some of the older games can be with just a couple of self-implemented rules, but in order to really challenge yourself in the post Gen V era, you need much more to make it difficult. Thanks for reading this long comment, sorry for the time that I wasted.
X and Y is the only game I haven't fully played through. Not only am I excited to see a Gentlevideo, but now I have motivation to play it! Thank you you beautiful, humble man!
I think the reason for the division is that X and Y released after BW, which had the best story of any game in the series, and BW2, which is the most fun game in the series.
If it's the two trainers that are in the forest before you get to parfum, you're able to skip them if you hug the wall they're not on. The camera will shift so that you're barely out of their range of vision.
First of all, just found this channel & video. Great video, great editing. Subbed Second.. it’s funny that I found this video as I recently did a similar “I havnt played this game since release” play through. My method of making the game more fun/attempt challenging (without turning off the exp share) was using a rotation party. 1: Greninja 2: Beedrill 3: Talonflame 4: Venesaur 5: Furret 6: Toxicroak 7: Scrafty 8: Aurorus 9: Dugtrio And tried to give each a backstory and personality. Was a fun time trying to entertain myself in my adulthood.
I still have my copy of Pokemon Y and not gonna lie, I straight up thought I could beat the Elite Four since I had a Legendary on my team 😅 sadly that didn't happen, i was young and didn't know much! Got close though but kept losing
@@nickywal I almost put a Drifloon on my current team (fourth time playing through the game). Maybe I’ll do that next time. I’m hoping I won’t encounter any shinies so I won’t have to erase them to play the game again, lol...
honestly i feel very positively about x/y! i think it was tough as a follow-up to black & white so it received lots of criticism. even though going back and playing b/w you end up trapped in similar tedious situations of too much dialogue and exposition between things you do. i just have very fond memories of x/y, especially because it was the first time pokemon trading and online stuff was readily available to me. (the original DS Lite used somewhat old and unsecure wi-fi network types, so it wasn’t easy to get a connection for online features). so yeah, first game that made me feel connected to other people who liked pokemon and i loved the fairy typing addition, the gym designs, and the character customization! it was a real treat
X is definitely an important game for me, as it was my first Pokémon game. It’s definitely easy, but I spent so much time on it and had plenty of fun. Nice to see people going through it.
I remember when my uncle bought me this for my seventh birthday and this introduced me into Pokémon. He bestowed on his generational knowledge of the pokemon world unto me. This brings back so many memories
Pokemon Y was the first Pokemon game I actual owned because up until that point I was playing my sister's copy of Pearl or Soul Silver ( I did own Pokemon White though but I can't really remember anything about it or what my team was ), until playing Y I was only ever interested in the anime and enjoying the look of the cards. Though I remember when I was younger my mom had gotten me Y because she saw I had a interest in the series so I got it along with a 3Ds and I remember getting HOOKED by the look of the region and seeing the Pokemon in 3D It was also the same region my favorite Pokemon Sylveon comes from! Even though some people are mixed on the game or it's story It will always be one of my favorite Pokemon games and I can't wait to play Z-A when it drops
As a kid, I remember the XY main story as busy but fun. I like running into the rivals so often, it really makes it feel like you're on the journey with other people! The world feels alive in a different way than in other games. It can get a bit annoying for sure, but each character representing a different way to play the game was a lot of fun for me too
Pokemon XY's first two gyms are like peak Pokemon for me. I don't know why I love it so much, but the pacing and story just gives me so much nostalgia and grace
My favourite part about X and Y is that because it’s in a different timeline a massive war made a geologist and a pirate pick the matching rock that goes with the legendary
The thing about what I like the most about XY is the huge amount of Pokemon in its regional dex 456 entries for a 3DS game, and still having the national dex programmed. Every play through feels different
I remember EXACTLY how I felt when I first played X and Y and EXACTLY where and what I was doing when I played it. One thought stuck with me: "This doesn't feel like a pokemon game this feels like a nintendo game." For me, this was the first generation that felt too commercialized and overly sanitary. There was something about the characters, the pokemon, the story, that was more Mario or Animal-crossings-esque especially when compared with Pokemon BW or DP. I personally really enjoyed X&Y, and replayed it a few times after, but definitely not as much as I replayed the previous generations. It felt more plastic than the generations before it. I WILL SAY THOUGH, X AND Y HAD THE BEST ANIME HANDS DOWN, I WAS SO EXCITED TO WATCH THAT ON A SATURDAY MORNING EACH WEEK
Tbh having to walk around alot and having to visit different places for the plot makes so much more sense than staying in the new area you just got to. Because that way it's always "Oh what a coincidence that you decided to set your secret hq in the new dicovered city I just got into! Oh no way that there is a meeting of all vice admirals with the boss. What a coincidence again that you decided to have a meeting at the exact time that I got here. Thanks for making it so easy". I hope you get what I mean. That way is just very unlogical and also improbable...
Well 100% these games will now be even harder because you’ll need to buy more games and hope to god that they have all the Pokémon and stuff, unless you go to eBay, but this was fun to watch Great job with this!
Y is one of my most nostalgic games, not really for the game itself, but because everyone in my friend group at school had a copy and we'd battle and trade all the time during lunch. I still like shiny hunting in it today
I remember that release day so well. It was a blustery cool morning, I was curled up in a blanket. I’d gone to bed early to be as alert as possible for the next morning. My mom even let me stay home, and offered to go get my pre-order from GameStop after grocery shopping if I gave her the pre-order’s receipt. I was watching some 4Kids cartoons eagerly waiting till she got back, and then I had a blast playing X & Y with my cousin for the next several months. I miss those days a little 😌
X and Y have very special places in my heart. When I was really little and moving into my house with my mom and her boyfriend (now husband), he let me play X on his 3DS to spend the time as my mom painted the rooms. This game, despite its flaws, is special to me. Also, fun fact! In the anime, Olympia’s fight is a double battle, with two meowstics. A male and a female

thats the best nickname ever
That sounds like a great memory! X & Y are also special to me because of the time I spent playing it with my brother
This was touching. X & Y was the last game my brother and I played together, too.

No lie, the "not enough water" is a fair point. Wish we got a whole water area to explore, that'd be fun.
Oh really another malamar enjoyer 😮
"I'm making sure to not overlevel" "the gyms are pretty soft" and he's with a lvl 40 talonflame in a lvl 30ish grass gym💀

Facts. Don't know why people overanalyze and hate on it so much. It marked a new era in Pokemon and a was the most fun to explore hands down
Plus it has so many little stuff you can do and the drip is pretty good
It's my second favorite. Gen one will always be my favorite as it was my first game. This is when I jumped back into Pokémon and it was great.
yeah i personally dont care what people think, its my favorite too
nah bro best vibe is 100% gen 7
Watching this because I’m about to replay Pokemon Y 10 years later lmaooo, now I’m even more excited! Great video
heck yeah man, i appreciate the love!
Me too but the worst part is there’s no more trades so a full dex is impossible :(
Omg it’s him!! HII jasko!!
x and y are criminally underrated and i'm so glad to see you enjoy it to its fullest, especially the postgame story! i'm excited to see what legends za does with kalos, and a thorough playthrough like this is a great way to prepare for it!
kudos for sticking it through to the end!
honestly the post game was so much better than i ever imagined.. the story was crazzzyyyy
Yeah, same with oras. Gen 4 (carried asf by platinum and hgss), 5 and 6 were the best in the series. 7 was still pretty great (good dex, nice new additions to the franchise and good side characters like Lillie, Kukui and Gladion.) Then it just went down hill
I don't think X and Y are bad games. To me, they just feel rushed and incomplete. It feels like something is missing and it just feels unsatisfying.
Been a problem, till this day
I try to remember they are comparable to diamond and pearl and pokemon z was gonna be a thing until it was cut.
So like its a great first two games and idk if this is a hot take but man i think xy > dp but platnium beats all
What was missing was the Z.
If XY is rushed and incomplete what is Scarlet and Violet?
@@kintsuki99 I'm talking about the storyline in X and Y. Even though performance make the games almost unplayable at times, Scarlet and Violet had good storylines and answered questions.

its an interesting one for me.. i dont know where i'd place it, but i absolutely had fun
Your style of humor is so great for these videos and I am enjoying this one a lot!
OMG NEW VIDEO!! Today is a good day. -grabs popcorn- (gets nachos instead)
nachos was a good choice tbh
This was great! And it’s really helpful to have a retrospective of X and Y with Legends Z-A coming out next year ^^
Really cool video idea! I love how creative you are, but I miss when you’d post more often, hope you’re doing well man, keep up the amazing work 💪
I have been watching more and more and I’m loving Gentledude more and more! Content is amazing!

Not only did you go through the grueling task of 100%ing Pokemon XY but you made the entire video of it entertaining the entire way. Earned a sub
thats awesome! thank you :))
Glad to see you posting again after the donothon! hope the window got fixed handy and your eye + athena are all okay
Not sure how to describe it, but the thumbnail being that high quality is so satisfying. I'd love to see an HD version of XY!
This was the most I've enjoyed a pokemon video in years time to binge a ton of your vids this is amazing

LOVE to see the face cam my guy!
Absolutely love your content despite taking a break from the 3ds/switch pokemon games😅😅

And tried to give each a backstory and personality. Was a fun time trying to entertain myself in my adulthood.
I still have my copy of Pokemon Y and not gonna lie, I straight up thought I could beat the Elite Four since I had a Legendary on my team 😅 sadly that didn't happen, i was young and didn't know much! Got close though but kept losing
Legendary nah, drifblim and throh though 😂 the elite 4 cry at the sight of them
@@nickywal I almost put a Drifloon on my current team (fourth time playing through the game). Maybe I’ll do that next time. I’m hoping I won’t encounter any shinies so I won’t have to erase them to play the game again, lol...
honestly i feel very positively about x/y! i think it was tough as a follow-up to black & white so it received lots of criticism. even though going back and playing b/w you end up trapped in similar tedious situations of too much dialogue and exposition between things you do. i just have very fond memories of x/y, especially because it was the first time pokemon trading and online stuff was readily available to me. (the original DS Lite used somewhat old and unsecure wi-fi network types, so it wasn’t easy to get a connection for online features).
so yeah, first game that made me feel connected to other people who liked pokemon and i loved the fairy typing addition, the gym designs, and the character customization! it was a real treat
0:21 “it had a great post game”
I’m gonna have to stop you right there Sir Dude
2:00 absolute facts, also the best pokemon to grace the verse. Literally became my favourite the moment i first used it
5:27 when the nerd does the whole group project
this was super entertaining and the jokes you were slipping in their were great 😂😂
I love this video! I watched it and then proceeded to binge hours of your content. What if you beat Pokemon scarlet/violet with just molluscs?
1:07 challenge accepted.... As soon as I get the games
X is definitely an important game for me, as it was my first Pokémon game. It’s definitely easy, but I spent so much time on it and had plenty of fun. Nice to see people going through it.
I remember when my uncle bought me this for my seventh birthday and this introduced me into Pokémon. He bestowed on his generational knowledge of the pokemon world unto me. This brings back so many memories
You are too funny dude. Made this very enjoyable :)
Pokemon Y was the first Pokemon game I actual owned because up until that point I was playing my sister's copy of Pearl or Soul Silver ( I did own Pokemon White though but I can't really remember anything about it or what my team was ), until playing Y I was only ever interested in the anime and enjoying the look of the cards. Though I remember when I was younger my mom had gotten me Y because she saw I had a interest in the series so I got it along with a 3Ds and I remember getting HOOKED by the look of the region and seeing the Pokemon in 3D
It was also the same region my favorite Pokemon Sylveon comes from! Even though some people are mixed on the game or it's story It will always be one of my favorite Pokemon games and I can't wait to play Z-A when it drops
As a kid, I remember the XY main story as busy but fun. I like running into the rivals so often, it really makes it feel like you're on the journey with other people! The world feels alive in a different way than in other games. It can get a bit annoying for sure, but each character representing a different way to play the game was a lot of fun for me too
Pokemon XY's first two gyms are like peak Pokemon for me. I don't know why I love it so much, but the pacing and story just gives me so much nostalgia and grace
My favourite part about X and Y is that because it’s in a different timeline a massive war made a geologist and a pirate pick the matching rock that goes with the legendary
my favorite part was seeing the health bars edited over the actual battle in the fairy and grass gym! very interesting 💝
"It had a great post-game!"
Them's fightin' words, son!
Denying her Lucario should be a crime
Yes
The thing about what I like the most about XY is the huge amount of Pokemon in its regional dex 456 entries for a 3DS game, and still having the national dex programmed. Every play through feels different
Incredible. So glad someone put in the effort to love these games like they deserve.
I remember EXACTLY how I felt when I first played X and Y and EXACTLY where and what I was doing when I played it. One thought stuck with me: "This doesn't feel like a pokemon game this feels like a nintendo game." For me, this was the first generation that felt too commercialized and overly sanitary. There was something about the characters, the pokemon, the story, that was more Mario or Animal-crossings-esque especially when compared with Pokemon BW or DP. I personally really enjoyed X&Y, and replayed it a few times after, but definitely not as much as I replayed the previous generations. It felt more plastic than the generations before it.
I WILL SAY THOUGH, X AND Y HAD THE BEST ANIME HANDS DOWN, I WAS SO EXCITED TO WATCH THAT ON A SATURDAY MORNING EACH WEEK
X and Y was my first ever Pokemon Game and i fell in love with Froakie, who is my favorite Pokemon ever since
Tbh having to walk around alot and having to visit different places for the plot makes so much more sense than staying in the new area you just got to. Because that way it's always "Oh what a coincidence that you decided to set your secret hq in the new dicovered city I just got into! Oh no way that there is a meeting of all vice admirals with the boss. What a coincidence again that you decided to have a meeting at the exact time that I got here. Thanks for making it so easy". I hope you get what I mean. That way is just very unlogical and also improbable...
Well 100% these games will now be even harder because you’ll need to buy more games and hope to god that they have all the Pokémon and stuff, unless you go to eBay, but this was fun to watch Great job with this!
My favourite part of the video was you naming all the Pokémon on your team after cartoon characters.
Amazing video again, keep smashing it ❤
Y is one of my most nostalgic games, not really for the game itself, but because everyone in my friend group at school had a copy and we'd battle and trade all the time during lunch. I still like shiny hunting in it today
I remember that release day so well. It was a blustery cool morning, I was curled up in a blanket. I’d gone to bed early to be as alert as possible for the next morning. My mom even let me stay home, and offered to go get my pre-order from GameStop after grocery shopping if I gave her the pre-order’s receipt. I was watching some 4Kids cartoons eagerly waiting till she got back, and then I had a blast playing X & Y with my cousin for the next several months. I miss those days a little 😌
Insanely high quality video!
X and Y have very special places in my heart. When I was really little and moving into my house with my mom and her boyfriend (now husband), he let me play X on his 3DS to spend the time as my mom painted the rooms. This game, despite its flaws, is special to me.
Also, fun fact! In the anime, Olympia’s fight is a double battle, with two meowstics. A male and a female
Refusing the other lucario is crazyyyy lmaooo
